Description
Phtoograph of 'Britain's Got Talent' winner and famous Scottish opera singer, Susan Boyle accompanied by quote: "I strongly believe Scotland should remain part of Britain. I'm a proud patriotic Scot, passionate about my heritage and my coutnry. But I'm not a nationalist."
Comissioned as part of the 'Better Together' campaign (though logo is absent from poster) with Boyle as celebrity endorsement in 2013, one year prior to the referendum on Scottish devolution from the UK. This campaign was desperately endorsed by the English Coalition government, as well as the Labour party as the election drew closer.
Though this artefact is printed digitally, it was most likely used for advertisments in newspapers, online, and as posts on social networking sites such as facebook and twitter.
